The Cruise Part 2

I am on a cruise that goes from Taiwan, two cities of japan and then back to Taiwan. On the first day at sea,  I felt a bit queasy, which is a part of seasickness. Then I gradually felt better. My mom and dad had maximum dosage of seasickness which made them take medicine. At  last we got to a smaller part of japan in a day's time. When we got off the ship the first thing to do was to exchange some Taiwanese money for Japanese Yen. We got into a cab, he drove us to a market and we got off. The weather was very very VERY hot. I think it was a heatwave. One problem when we got to japan, on the boat i don't know when I got sick. Worst of all is I had stomach illness. Very bad illness if you ask me, I had to keep going to the restroom for diarrhea. Anyways, When I got to the market there was a lot of stuff. The funny thing was that they had mini coke cans, half the size of normal ones. One of the best things there was A&W ROOT BEER, Taiwan has they're own distasteful, horrible root beer. There was also a little box of sugarless mints, each one has fifty tablets. When we were done shopping for soda and shirts, we went to a Japanese restaurant, the food was like seemed like Korean BBQ. The funny thing was that there was a butt washing machine, I couldn't activate it that was because I wasn't brave enough to sit on the seat and press the on button. The thing was my grandpa tried it and said it works. The last thing we did before going back to the ship was having nice cold shaved sugarcane ice, or at least I think that was what it is. So at last we went back to the cruise and rested.

very expensive watermelon...it's about $25/each in Japan

tasty shaved ice......Yummy

My dad ordered a Mango shaved ice

Cruise Part 1( The Departure)

Last Sunday I had a vacation to Japan. I got there on a Cruise with tons of rooms, space and restaurants. There was also an arcade with at least 10 machines. When I found out there was an arcade, I really wanted to go there to play. When I first got onto the boat, I rushed to the room my family and I were supposed to stay in. When I got there, I opened the curtains and saw the big, wide sea. Just when the boat started to move, I was think that I was getting sea sick. My head and stomach started hurting really bad, although I think it was because of motion sickness part of me thought it was sea sickness. Then it was time to got to japan!

Tug of War

one! two! three! pull! could be heard repeatedly on and on. The crowds cheering wildly and the coaches rapidly yelling one! two! three! pull!. It was a partially cloudy day with a bit of sunlight. It was the day the finals of tug of war was held. Teachers encouraging their students, crowds of people cheering wildly. Students running for first place, and a show for rollerblading with teachers and students. I was so excited for the finals that I could hardly wait. It was supposed to be after the rollerblading show. When the rollerblading was done, it was time for the finals. My classmates and I held the rope, the opposing team did so too. At the sound of the gun,My classmates and I pulled with all our strength, the opposing side did the same. I pulled and pulled with my classmates. Finally the first round was won be the opposing team. We had the second round, but the last was lost. So we were in second place. I was okay with that, because it was fun and I know my classmates and I did our best. At last we were dismissed to go to the carnival. I bought three scoops of ice-cream and one sausage on a stick and all that was only seventy-five Taiwanese dollars, equal to around two American dollars! When I finished my sausage and ice-cream I went home to take a nice, long shower. That was the end of my day with the tug of war, so i went to sleep.
